Let's Have a Look-See

I love World Cup Soccer. I do not pretend to like it any other time. But every 4 years I devote a couple of weeks to soccer. I became addicted in 1982. I was a missionary in Salto Uruguay. It was winter and cold. Our only chance of talking to anyone took place before, or after a game. And during, well, we were welcome to come in and watch. They loved all teams South America. They yelled GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL  as well as shot off fireworks when their team won. It was a great time. I have been watching it ever since. Before ESPN decided to put it on the air, I watched it on Univision, in Spanish, which frankly, I prefer. So go USA, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil!

Just thought I would check in. I am doing very well. I have been called, young and amazing, so of course I'm doing well. I am wondering around the house without the cane, and I can go up and down the stairs. It turns out that being young, active and having good bones, helps you when you get your knee replaced. Not to mention having a great surgeon. I guess I should thank Blue Cross of Idaho for the approval. Happy Fathers Day!

He made it! So did we. Have I ever mentioned that he has a girlfriend? Here is my boy. And here he is with his bff and his girl friend....and her twin...still not sure which one is which. He's come a long way. As for summer plans, it turns out that the insurance decided I wasn't too young for surgery,  so I will be getting a new knee today,  and Richard will be taking care of me for a couple of days.   It's pay back time!
